to the artists, designers and craftspeople who think I call their work kitsch... this is NOT the case, it refers to my own work

Munich impressions

Summer in Munich means ... having a freshly pressed fruit/vegetable juice at the Viktualienmarkt in the city centre.




A very popular and colourful market where one can find local and exotic goodies...






...a great selection of plants and flowers to dress the nice windows and balconies of the city...






... and handcrafted house pets to keep you company...






... and stalls galore where one can eat the most various dishes.












Dress code in the city doesn't seem to be an issue...





...a relaxed mix of traditional ...






... and casual ...

















... traditionnal Dirndl dresses are still very popular in Bavaria. 





A lot of colour in the streets.











A special relationship with lions ...
















...and other animals.





The cutest hunting trophies - seen at Obacht'






Little Red Riding Hood and Wolf






An upcoming event with legalized street art.  I missed it, this was the announcement.






Unintentional street art.







Wining and dining in historical buildings... kindly invited by the lions above





... impressive decorations in local breweries/restaurants...











An absent attendant at an exhibition.  Waited quite some time before the locked door, in vain...





A city of luxury...



... with unique ways of transport...



...where bamboos take the escalator...





... and where bras grow on trees! (taken from a riding train).
